Symantec wants you to disable PC Anywhere

Symantec, the company that makes PC Anywhere and numerous security programs, would like you to disable its own software.  Source code for PC Anywhere, was apparently stolen, allowing hackers to quickly find vulnerabilities in the software.  These vulnerabilities could allow hackers to take over the system and gain access to the entire network.  As a safety measure, Symantec suggests that you disable PC Anywhere until patches can be released. The stolen code is said to be 6 years old and shouldn’t affect any other Symantec products.
